Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Phase I Part :

Confirm the safety of GAIA-102 as a monotherapy or GAIA-102 and pembrolizumab in combination for advanced gastrointestinal cancer of microsatellite stable with malignant ascites, and determine the recommended number of doses for Phase II part.

Phase II Part :

Research the efficacy and safety of as a monotherapy or GAIA-102 and pembrolizumab for advanced gastrointestinal cancer of microsatellite stable with malignant ascites at the recommended dose of GAIA-102 decided in the Phase I part.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

GAIA-102 as a monotherapy

GAIA-102: 1 vial (2 x 10\^8 cells) as dose at a fixed dose, on 1 to 3 times by weekly for 3 consecutive weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Phase I part

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Administration of GAIA-102 as a monotherapy or GAIA-102 and pembrolizumab in combination.

Phase II part

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either GAIA-102 monotherapy or GAIA-102 in combination with pembrolizumab at the recommended dosing regimen confirmed in the Phase I part, or to receive standard therapy.

For patients with gastric cancer, the standard therapy group will receive trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) only.

GAIA-102 and pembrolizumab in combination

GAIA-102: 1 vial (2 x 10\^8 cells) as dose at a fixed dose, on 1 to 3 times by weekly for 3 consecutive weeks.

Pembrolizumab:200 mg on Day 1.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Phase I part

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Administration of GAIA-102 as a monotherapy or GAIA-102 and pembrolizumab in combination.

Phase II part

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either GAIA-102 monotherapy or GAIA-102 in combination with pembrolizumab at the recommended dosing regimen confirmed in the Phase I part, or to receive standard therapy.

For patients with gastric cancer, the standard therapy group will receive trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) only.

Ttrifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) as the standard therapy group

Trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) : Trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) will be administered orally twice daily for 5 consecutive days, followed by a 2-day rest period. This cycle will be repeated twice, followed by a 14-day rest period. One course consists of this schedule, and the treatment will be repeated in cycles.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Phase II part

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either GAIA-102 monotherapy or GAIA-102 in combination with pembrolizumab at the recommended dosing regimen confirmed in the Phase I part, or to receive standard therapy.

For patients with gastric cancer, the standard therapy group will receive trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) only.
